Look for the union label.
Teachers across North Carolina plan to march next week to demand better pay and working conditions, and one state lawmaker is blaming “union thugs.”
State Rep. Mark Brody, a Republican from Union County near Charlotte, posted a letter on his Facebook page Friday criticizing teachers who plan to march on May 16 instead of teach.
“Why is it that they cannot figure out that in about 3 weeks the school year will be over and the legislature will still be in session?” Brody posted.
“Let’s call this what it is, Teacher Union thugs want to control the education process!” he posted. “I am speaking up because I don’t want Union County schools, and for that matter all NC school systems, to turn into Chicago. Let the Union thugs get their way now and we are half way there.
